delacosta78 8 Report post Posted December 16, 2019 I don't have the file but you can search for mygica atv495max original firmware over the internet, that's how I found it in the new zealand mygica website but the link was replaced by the buggy 9 firmware instead.

WynandJVR 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2019 I have the original file because I downloaded it for incase. When I got the box I wanted netflix so i downloaded the patch firmware. And also the 7.1 firmware. But I am unable to get it into the tool. I get create workflow xml file failed. Very frustrating as I tried the version 9 which screwed up my ATV495X. I will gladly upload the 7.1 firware somewhere for other members but i'm failing to get it to work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
